Village Votes to Videotape Meetings

Finally! The Village Board at last nights Village Board meeting voted 4-1, with Monica Yuhas casting the only dissenting vote, to spend $25,000 on installing equipment needed to videotape and broadcast Village Board meetings. In a long and time-wasting discussion, President John Steinbrink, Sr. said he was tired of watching cartoons and wanted to be able to see himself on TV whenever he wished. Mike Serpe and Steve Kumorkiewicz concurred with Steve suggesting that make-up sessions be provided beforehand due to the harsh lighting in Village Hall auditorium. Clyde Allen felt that a new bond could be purchased at only 40% interest to help defer costs onto taxpayers. Alex Tiahnybok was approved as video Senior editor and Bob Babcock Sr. and Jr. were asked and approved to provide commentary during broadcasts.



APRIL FOOLS!

As an FYI, I sent an email to the woman in Germantown for info regarding the Time Warner grant. I have yet to hear back, it's only been two weeks, but I will resend the email on Monday.

I'd like to attend today's 5:00 meeting, however making it to a 5:00 Village meeting is not only difficult for me personally but also it would seem difficult for many residents. Watching a 5:00 cable event would therefore also be difficult.

Hoepfully, whenever the Village does make this happen, the meetings will be re-run at times when many residents aren't still on their way home from work.
